the energy, and motivation. James 3:14-16Ecclesiastes 4:4Galatians 6:4
You know the one whose husband makes more than enough money so they can go to all those church events.

I wish we had extra money and time
to get more involved. See Part 2: Do Not compare Yourself to That Other Person

My family receives snap which is commonly known as food stamps. This post is to inform you of places you might not know accepts snap.

1. Dollar Tree
2. Dollar General
3. Braums deli dept
4. Aldis

When I shop with snap at Dollar tree many things there are not cost effective or they are actually more expensive than at a bigger grocery store. Most of their frozen items you might only be spending $1 but if you look at the size and portion you are actually paying more for less. I do buy their bigger packs of frozen popsicles, their bread, and snack foods.

Dollar general has a variety of products that are comparative in price and size to grocery stores in their store brand. I often buy their can goods 2/$1, snacks, sodas, chips, milk, etc. A great choice for 10 items or less. I wouldn't recommend for more as their not made for big shopping trips.

Braums is known for their ice cream which is my personal favorite because they have a sugar free line in their deli dept, but you can also fi…

I'm using a 5lb chub of ground beef I bought at Aldi's for $9.99. If you don't have an Aldi's and live in Texas Heb has ground turkey for $1.75lb or $1lb on sale. I usually don't buy ground beef because ground turkey is cheaper and I just started shopping at Aldi's again because they accept snap which we receive. Your price might be more depending on where you live but ground turkey works great if seasoned just right. For this post I made 4 meals using my 5 lbs of ground beef.
Crock-Pot Meatloaf
Tacos
BBQ Bacon Cheese Burgers
Sloppy Joe Spaghetti

I didn't use recipes for these meals. I added about 1.5 of the ground beef to Crock-Pot and mixed with worschire sauce, Dijon mustard, ketchup, soy sauce, garlic powder n seasoning salt. I also added ketchup, Dijon mustard n worchesire mixture on too n cooked on high for 4 hours. That will be served with mashed potatoes n green beans. Any cheap can or in season veggies would work.
The tacos were 1 lb ground beef n…

If your joining me you can do it for a shorter or longer period of time depending on your personal goals and needs. My goal is to pay our mortgage on time with the money that I do not spend. As of today our mortgage payment for October due on the first is 24 days behind. Last week I spent $180 between Aldis and Heb and decided I needed to make a change and to stop over spending.
This is day 3 of the challenge.
Day 1: I stayed home and busy
Day 2: I stopped looking at my heb digital app coupons
Day 3: I turned off the notifications for my young living oils group event which were having a sale on oils.
Day 4: see my post on facebook I didnt spend any $ at walmart!
Day 5: spent a few bucks on boys clearance toys at Dollar general
Day 6: I'm an emotional spender it's an ongoing battle but the items bought were needs pants for my oldest son n both boys needed more shoes, I didn't need boots but they were just $10 n I did need pants n they were just $18 although I shouldn't…

Celebrating
Freedom Undeserved Love, Mercy, & Grace March
23rd marked my 8yrs release anniversary. On this day my rose bush
bloomed one of the buds. My husband and me counted 8 additional buds
not yet bloomed and so he said that's 8 yrs freedom and one to grow
on, lol. That's God's love always giving more hope, more forgiveness,
mercy, and grace than what we ask for or deserve. I pray that we can
each live like we were to die tomorrow and most importantly live to
please God and to serve His purpose and His plans. I'm the least of
the least of these and I am not a great or worthy role model of this.
What I lack hopefully I make up in persistence, stubbornness, and
faith. Don't let anyone, anything, or any circumstance keep you down!
Don't be too harsh on yourself; give yourself love, forgiveness, and
patience. I hope to hear from you soon! Love
in Christ, Your Sister Kim Fincher www.KimFincher.org *Get your free amazon ebooks when you get out search for Author:…

We're
Called to Love
“How
great is the love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be
called children of God!” 1 John 3a
“This
is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son
into the world that we might live through him. This is love; not that
we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning
sacrifice for our sins. Dear
friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No
one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us
and his love is made complete in us. We
know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his
Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son
to be the Saviour of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is
the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. And so we know and
rely on the love God has for us. God
is love. Whoever
lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made
complete among us so that we will have confidence on the…
